Depends on the Council.
Smaller councils depend on support services from either the ATL office, or from Herndon.
ATL and DTW have LEC offices (with one staff person each, I think), but I'm sure they don't work weekends.
I'd have to guess most reps are fully able to launch a council update themselves. No, it's not paid...reps don't get paid anything extra. Trip drops for meetings, lounge visit week and any official LEC work (like a representation).
Everything else is on their own time. Waxing poetic in updates, phone calls, emails, etc, which is pretty much what %90 of a reps work is. Taking care of the pilots in the council is primary focus.
